I am completely ...Sorry I am late with my comment!<br /><br />I am completely blown away by your sea-chest. I am stunned (and thrilled) that you made it for our Challenge. It's sensational. Absolutely gorgeous. After I recovered from the (nice) shock, I scrolled down and saw your other box which is so different to the first but equally as scrumptious.<br /><br />Your artwork is superb. Take a bow!Ozstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057523110612961307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067029835809758053.post-76578117814544616092010-01-17T08:03:44.699-05:002010-01-17T08:03:44.699-05:00Fabulous boxed, and paintings and drawing as well;...Fabulous boxed, and paintings and drawing as well;o)Jannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515158496895851106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067029835809758053.post-76641168201355268052010-01-14T22:07:20.051-05:002010-01-14T22:07:20.051-05:00WOW!!

I wasn't keen on the outcome of the painting but i liked the process and it cleared my head a bit, this last one that got ruined was the first one I did since then (am I making sense? lol)<br /><br />Micki xMicki Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719473182855936757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067029835809758053.post-89925236145472302942010-01-14T11:25:17.874-05:002010-01-14T11:25:17.874-05:00Diane, you blew me away with that box with the she...Diane, you blew me away with that box with the shells. Just breathtaking! They are both beautiful. I can't wait to see you make more! Thank you for your comment on our post. Yes, I did find those bobbins with the thread already on them, but I see the empty bobbins for sale all the time at the flea markets and antique stores. It would be real easy to buy thread, such as DMC, and wrap the spools in whatever color would match your color scheme. Have a beautiful day!

Believe it or not, I was thinking of you today on my way back from the humane society, just wondering what you were making. I don't get to visit my favorite blogs as much as I'd like, so when you comment on my blog, it only reminds me who I want to visit. Anyway, my mom has bags of shells and has decorated mirros and made wheelbarrows and owls and such, she would love this box. I, myself, would love to own it! It speaks of so many stories.
